  • Workflow – Adobe Premiere to Davinci Resolve back to Premiere

    Posted by Ryan Strong on August 5, 2012 at 6:04 am

    Hi all,

    I just got Davinci Resolve Lite 9 and have been playing around with it and I must say it is AMAZING compared to the in-house color tools in Premiere (which are still great in themselves).

    My question is on workflow…

    SO I have my project completely edited in Premiere. All the cuts are there but none of the coloring has been done. I want to now color these clips in Davinci Resolve Lite 9. What are the steps I need to take so that when I pull up Davinci I am only coloring the clips that are used in my project and not the hundreds of other unused clips, and then after I color those clips, how do I then get them back into Premiere without loosing my edit?

    Please help!

    So the short of it, is that it cannot be done in the ideal way?

    I’ve tried exporting from Premiere an XML file and importing that into Davinci and Davinci immediately crashes. Ugh.

    SO… from what I gathered the simplest way without having a ton of hoops to jump through is to render out the movie and have Davinci scene detect it? Ugly.

    If you run the XML through FCP7 (even with the media offline). Then load your media into the pool manual and import your FCP7 XML, it will hopefully work.

    Ryan, I take it you’re as unimpressed with Speedgrade as I am.

    It’s fine, it’s just not as good as Divinci! Still cannot get this process to work though!!

    Hi Ryan,

    Could you send us the XML which is causing crashes to davincihelp (at) blackmagicdesign.com?

    Thanks,
    Rohit

    Unfortunately I do not own Final Cut Pro 7, just Adobe Premiere…

    I have just installed Resolve 9 Lite onto my MacPro 4.1, OSX 10.6.8.

    Successfully exported an FCP XML from Premiere Pro CS6. (Apple ProRes sequence).

    Opened this in Resolve without issues and did the grade. Rendered this out (after being advised that Enable Flat Pass button needs to engaged to disable Flat Pass, yes the button is labeled Off on the other right side… but double negatives??).

    Exported an XML from Resolve to the same folder as the rendered files, imported the folder into Premiere Pro CS6. Opened sequence – all fine.
